I've seen one other post on this. This is a different article.
Of course the court neglected self defense. In the eyes of a leftist, there's no such thing. When as the 9th Circuit ever promugated a ruling that made any sense?
Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals said the Second Amendment only guarantees the rights of states to organize a militia
Newsflash to the 9th Circcuit: Government don't have rights. People have rights. People give government authority to do a limited number of legitimate things.
"Individual rights advocates have waved the Emerson decision like a battle flag," Nosanchuk of the Violence Policy Center.
What's the most widely known battle flag? Maybe the Confederate Battle Flag? Nice way to connect gun ownership with racism there.

As I have been saying for months, where is the call to impeach these judges?

doesn't say anything about citizens being allowed to own semi-automatic weapons or any other firearms. The second amendment doesn't "allow" anything. It simply enumerates Rights that we as a Free people already have.
What a bunch of tyrannical judges have to say about this issue is irrelevant, except for the fact that it puts them on the record as being "domestic enemies of the Constitution".
The bastards could repeal the 2nd amendment tomorrow, and every single American would still have the Right to keep and bear arms.

My question for dicussion:
If the USSC overturns this 9th circuit decision, by finding that the 2nd is a right of individuals, can they rule in a manner that narrowly restores the rights of Californians without also overruling the various import bans, the 1986 law that halted production of civilian-ownable machine guns, and even the NFA of 1934?
Or is there a way that the supremes could overrule the 9th without going this far?

That's California for you - the land of fruits and NUTS! Some women in California are forced to commit acts of civil disobedience by carrying concealed guns. That is because THEY DON'T WANT TO BE RAPED, TORTURED, BEHEADED OR MURDERED! (Some California women are funny that way.) For victory & freedom!!!

The court agreed, however, that police officers that protect public safety were allowed to own firearms. Is this a "penumbra"?

"...enemies, foreign and domestic."
Citizens must be vilgilent in defense of our Constitution and remorseless in destruction of her enemies.
The 9th's Blackrobes are outlaws in the Politburo Gang. They hold high office during a period of good behavior, not life. They must have created that self-serving interpretation too; we are not so illusioned.
This "living" revision is D.O.A.
